We are delighted to announce that kid skills published in the UK and Germany are now eligible to earn Alexa Developer Rewards.

Earlier this month, we announced that Alexa supports kid skills in the UK and Germany. If your skill is getting some of the highest customer engagement in any of the eight eligible categories — which now include kids — you can earn money each month. The most engaging kid skills will start earning rewards in June.

Last year, we launched Alexa Developer Rewards to enable developers to earn money for skills customers love most. The program rewards developers who publish highly engaging skills in the US, the UK, or Germany, in any of eight eligible skill categories, including:

Education & Reference

Food & Drink

Games, Trivia & Accessories

Health & Fitness

Kids

Lifestyle

Music & Audio

Productivity

To date, we’ve paid millions of dollars to developers in 23 countries. Many of these developers are earning money for skills published in multiple countries. So, if your skill is earning rewards in one country, you can potentially earn more by making it available in other eligible countries.
